Chapter 1173

Ning Chen closed his eyes, slowly withdrawing his own power, and pulled himself back out of Lin Yi's space.

Ning Chen opened his eyes, and Xiao Han came to his side.

Ning Chen said nothing, only gave Xiao Han a nod, then looked toward the middle.

A flash of white light suddenly appeared, the radiance enveloping a certain range; after the light faded, Lin Yi was standing right there.

"Brother Ning, I'm back."

Ning Chen walked forward and gave him a big hug, using it to encourage him.

"We can't stay here too long, we'd better hurry back." Xiao Han kept watch over the surroundings the whole time.

Ning Chen released his ability to scan the area; for now, no infected had noticed what was happening on this side.

He grabbed Lin Yi's wrist, exchanged a glance with Xiao Han, and immediately headed for the RV.

The infected were still in their own territory, and with their sluggish movement at night, Ning Chen and Xiao Han got Lin Yi to the RV very smoothly.

Seeing the RV he'd been away from for a while, the familiar feeling made Lin Yi almost want to drop to his knees.

God knew that after he had suddenly fainted and woken up, the infected all around him were drooling at him; he had been completely dumbfounded at the time.

He had truly been terrified beyond words; back then he was still thinking that Brother Ning and the others would definitely notice he was missing very soon and come looking for him.

And after an entire day without any sign of Ning Chen, Lin Yi's panic reached its peak; it was at that very moment that his ability suddenly erupted.

Only his ability at that time was completely unstable—he could only suddenly enter the space, then suddenly reappear.

Through constant exploration, he finally managed to keep himself inside the space for long stretches.

Lin Yi's return made everyone very happy.

Facing Huo Jinglin rushed forward all at once and punched Lin Yi's shoulder.

His strength wasn't great, and Lin Yi took the chance to fall onto Lin Yi's body: "That hurts~ I just got back and I'm already getting beaten up, that's so sad."

Seeing Lin Yi so full of energy, Facing Huo Jinglin also breathed a sigh of relief; with a look of disgust on his face, he shoved Lin Yi aside.

"If you're fine, then stop leaning on me."

"Brother Lin, are you okay? Did you get hurt anywhere?"

Gu Yanqi only came to Lin Yi's side to ask him after rushing over and checking Ning Chen.

Lin Yi waved his hand, raised his arm, and struck a pose showing off his bicep.

"Look at these muscles—how could anything have happened to me? I didn't take a single injury. And I've got some good news to share too."

Saying that, Lin Yi felt utterly exhausted and wanted to sit on the sofa for a bit, so he headed toward it.

"Let me tell you, I've got… Damn, what the hell is this?!"

Lin Yi, who had come to the sofa wanting to sit down, saw the 'person' opposite him who looked exactly like him, got so scared he leaped straight up, and ran behind the sofa to hide.

"No way, just because I got taken by the infected, you guys didn't have to make something like this to replace me." Lin Yi peeked out from behind the sofa at this thing that looked exactly like him, and felt his whole self wasn't doing too well.

Facing Huo Jinglin slapped Lin Yi on the head: "What are you thinking about all day? It's precisely because of it that we didn't notice right away that you'd disappeared."

Hearing Facing Huo Jinglin's words, Lin Yi widened his eyes, ran out from behind the sofa, and came up in front of that 'Lin Yi.'

"He—he shouldn't wake up, right?"

Facing Huo Jinglin sat down on the sofa Lin Yi had just been about to sit on and answered: "Relax, it won't wake up until tomorrow."

At this point, Lin Yi was reassured; he reached out, poked that 'Lin Yi''s cheek, then pinched his nose.

He had to admit, this face really was identical to his, even the teardrop mole under the eye was exactly the same.

That really was too amazing.

"Brother Ning, what's going on here? This is way too amazing—even plastic surgery couldn't be that fast."

Ning Chen didn't speak; instead, Facing Huo Jinglin continued to explain: "This isn't a person."

That one sentence left Lin Yi completely baffled—how is it not a person? The thing under his hand clearly had a body temperature, and it was even breathing, so how could it not be a person?

"Huh???"

Seeing Lin Yi's utterly dumbfounded face, Gu Yanqi hurriedly explained: "It really isn't a person—it's a high-level infected. Its ability should be mimicry; it mimicked you. Luckily Brother Ning reacted fast and saw through it right away."

At this, Lin Yi looked at this 'Lin Yi' with a strange glint in his eyes—this thing actually dared to impersonate him. He wondered whether this 'Lin Yi' had used his face to do anything bad.
